Before I start this, my photon is working perfectly, I've already had four successful prints with it, so registering it for the warranty is just a precaution, but I cannot figure out how to do it? I have found the warranty guidelines, but no place to "register" the machine for it. I should make it clear that I'm not really sure if registering the machine is necessary, but my parents who I live with and bought me the machine as a gift are insisting that it must be registered, and I cannot figure out where to go on the website to do it if it is needed.
Based on the revolutionary direct signal conversion of its QuantaMax detector, NAEOTOM Alpha--the world's first photon-counting CT--offers high-resolution images at minimal dose, spectral information in every scan, and improved contrast at lower noise.
At the heart of NAEOTOM Alpha is a radically new photon-counting detector. The QuantaMax detector directly converts X-rays into an electrical signal, which is then used to create an image. The energy of each X-ray is measured, so spectral information is available for every scan, and the images are contrast-rich with high spatial resolution at the same dose. Combining the high spatial resolution of the QuantaMax photon-counting detector with our Dual Source temporal resolution enables the visualization of fine details for increased diagnostic confidence.
Some kinds of photodetectors are so sensitive that they allow the detection of single photons. It is then possible to register single photon absorption events, rather than measuring an optical intensity or power. It is also possible to register coincidences between two or more detectors; this is very important for many experiments in quantum optics.
Photon counters often contain electronics which produce a digital output pulse (e.g. with TTL format) for each registered photon, rather than an analog signal with fluctuations. For that, they may use some kind of electronic discriminator, which e.g. produces an output pulse each time when a certain threshold is exceeded.
The classical way of photon detection is to use a photomultiplier tube. Particularly with a cooled photocathode, such a device can have a very low dark count rate. The quantum efficiency can reach several tens of percent in the visible spectral region, whereas devices for infrared light achieve quantum efficiencies of at most a few percent.
Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) can be operated in the Geiger mode for photon counting.They are then called single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). Here, the applied reverse voltage is slightly above the avalanche breakdown voltage. An electron can then be triggered by a single photon, and must be stopped by lowering the voltage for a short time interval, which determines the dead time. Depending on the wavelength, the quantum efficiency can be well above 50%. The dark count rate can be strongly reduced by cooling the diode, but this can increase the rate of after-pulses caused by trapped electrical carriers. Silicon-based APDs are used between roughly 350 and 1050 nm and can reach dark count rates of only a few hertz. A typical r.m.s. timing jitter is some tens of picoseconds. For longer wavelengths in the near-infrared region, devices based on indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) and indium phosphide (InP) or germanium (Ge) are used. Their quantum efficiency is lower than that of silicon devices in the visible spectrum, but higher than for IR photomultipliers. Count rates are typically limited to a few megahertz, or more for silicon APDs.
For longer wavelengths, sum frequency generation in a nonlinear crystal allows one to upconvert the photons to the visible spectral range, followed by detection with a silicon APD. A less common approach is to use a superconducting single photon detector.
I ran the optical/WLS example in the 10.7 directory and at the end of its runtime it recorded zero optical photon detections, even though an efficiency value is clearly specified in its detector construction.
Ok. I think I understood the change in behaviour regarding optical photon detection in version 10.7.
In previous versions the boolean fInvokeSD was true by default (10.05.01/source/processes/optical/src/G4OpBoundaryProcess.cc)
In 10.7 it is defined in G4OpticalParameters.cc and its value is false by default :
boundaryInvokeSD = false;
I actually had a quick question for you. How did you define the efficiency of the sensitive detector to be 100% ? I am struggling to detect optical photons on my detector. They get absorbed but not detected and I am not sure of how to do it. Any help is appreciated!
Just how dark does it have to be before our eyes stop working? Research by a team from Rockefeller University and the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology in Austria has shown that humans can detect the presence of a single photon, the smallest measurable unit of light. Previous studies had established that human subjects acclimated to the dark were capable only of reporting flashes of five to seven photons.
To arrive at their findings, Vaziri and his collaborators combined the light source with, an unprecedented psychophysics protocol called two-alternative forced-choice (2AFC) in which subjects are repeatedly asked to choose between two time intervals, one of which contains a single photon while the other one is a blank. The gathered data from more than 30,000 trials demonstrated that humans can indeed detect a single photon incident on their eye with a probability significantly above chance.
Individual points of a picture in traditional photography merely register light intensity. The interference phenomenon also registers the phase of the light waves in traditional holography. A well-described, undisturbed reference wave is superimposed with another wave of the same wavelength reflected off a three-dimensional object when a hologram is generated. Interference occurs as a result of the phase variations between the two waves, resulting in a complicated pattern of lines.
The spatial structure of waveforms of light reflected from the object is then recreated by illuminating the hologram with a beam of the reference light, and so its 3D shape is recreated. Because individual photons have a continuous fluctuation, the Warsaw researchers took a novel approach to the problem: instead of employing conventional interference of electromagnetic waves, they attempted to register quantum interference, in which photon wave functions interact.
When paired with high-purity zero-phonon-line (ZPL) photon collection efficiencies recently demonstrated for SnV centres in the waveguide architecture used in this work15, the path to photonic cluster states becomes accessible in the near term. Improvements in collection efficiency could be realized through the use of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors and improvements to the adiabatic mode transfer through optimized fabrication protocols, further enhancing the complexity of the entanglement resources achievable with the 117SnV centre (Supplementary Section II). Such improvements may bring the class-leading collection efficiencies achieved with diamond nanocavities13 to a low-overhead waveguide platform, without cryostatic alignment, confocal excitation or cavity tuning.
In this work, we have introduced a versatile quantum device, consisting of a fibre-packaged waveguide with access to a nuclear spin that serves to address three key challenges for optically interconnected qubit systems. First, as a quantum node, the high waveguide-to-fibre extraction efficiency of 57(6)% should enable high-repetition-rate remote entanglement based on single-photon protocols when combined with previous demonstrations of quantum control17 and interference of resonant photons15. This entanglement generation rate would be limited by initialization and readout overheads in the current device, which could be lowered through fast-feedback control logic19. For entanglement distribution over more than two nodes, an ancillary register is necessary54. The immediate next steps, thus, involve microwave control of the nuclear state19, echoing recent demonstrations of high-fidelity electron control55,56. The large hyperfine coupling is advantageous to realize fast two-qubit gates without the typical infidelities associated with the indirect driving of nearby transitions19. The protected nature of the nuclear spin should enable a second-long coherence time19. Finally, addressing nearby 13C through dynamical decoupling gates is a natural way to extend this register10 to realize fault-tolerant nodes.
I'm Gerardo from México, i unpacked my first 3d printer it's a anycubic photon (not pothon s) i was watching a several youtube videos for the first config and leveling process for my printer and i find some video talking about upgrading the firmware to get a better quality results in my 3d print models, i read a forum when explain about the 4.2.19 firmware is not estable and not recomended to upgarde and recomend the 4.2.18 insted.
The image was created simply by shining a single photon through a minute stencil. At that scale, quantum mechanics dictates that a single photon passes through all the holes in the stencil simultaneously, picking up the shadow - or the information - from each one.
The photon then passed into a four inch "cell" of caesium gas at 100C, where it was slowed. The new approach to slowing light used by the researchers means that thousands of information-bearing photons could be stored in a single cell without data being lost.
Until quite recently, creating a hologram of a single photon was believed to be impossible due to fundamental laws of physics. However, scientists at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, have successfully applied concepts of classical holography to the world of quantum phenomena. A new measurement technique has enabled them to register the first ever hologram of a single light particle, thereby shedding new light on the foundations of quantum mechanics.
